The PV Garden Club will meet on Thursday, February 19th at 11:00 am at No Way Jose! Restaurant.
The guest speaker will be Troy Martz. Troy, his wife Pilar and their three daughters moved to Puerto Vallarta in July of 2014. Their choice of Vallarta was because of the ideal climate for growing and building their lives around their passion of Permaculture.
Permaculture is a branch of environmental design and integrated water resource management that helps to regenerate and self maintain habitats and agricultural systems.
Troy is working to organize regenerative and sustainable markets in Puerto Vallarta. He is currently leading the effort to create a regional collective that aims to synchronize the organic food requirements of restaurants, hotels, and stores, with the production capabilities of city gardeners and rural farmers and ranchers.
With millions of acres of surrounding Ejido land, the potential for transforming Puerto Vallarta into a "beyond organic" destination is remarkable.
He will be speaking on ways that you can develop an urban garden on your decks.
No Way José! is on the south side of downtown at 5 de Febrero 260, just over the Vallarta street bridge on your left heading south from the Malecón.
